As organizations grow, there
is too much change occurring too frequently to rely on traditional forms of
communication. Meetings, email, and training are just not sufficient to create
organizational alignment at scale. Additionally, leaders in growing
organizations consistently strive to become better communicators for their
organization, and they crave a more authentic way to connect with large teams.

In this session, you will
learn how one organization leveraged podcasting to create a sustainable
platform for authentic communication. Leveraging SharePoint, TiER1 developed a
secure podcasting platform, called Pulsecast, that enables organizational leaders
to record from their phones and publish to the whole company in minutes. They also
integrated Pulsecast with Yammer, a social intranet, to foster a broader
conversation. This session will examine how this platform increased employee
engagement; how it became an informal learning channel; best practices for
leadership podcasting; and how clients have used Pulsecast.

In this session, you will learn:
